Photos Spark Fear of ‘Borneo Monster’

(Feb. 19) – Villagers in Borneo who have long believed that a legendary 100-foot-long snake called the Nabau trolls the Baleh River say recent photographs show that the beast has returned, The Daily Mail reports.
One of the photos showing a serpent-like figure was taken from a helicopter by a member of a disaster team monitoring flood regions, while a second was taken from a remote village. Critics, however, have called both photographs into question, Livescience.com reports.
Some have said the images appear to be altered with photo-editing software while others have suggested that the snake-like image is really a log or a wake left behind by a speedboat.
People who have studied the aerial photograph dismiss the latter allegations, saying that a log could not take that clear winding shape and that boats do not leave a twisting wake.
Villagers believe the legendary beast, the Nabau, had a dragon’s head, seven nostrils and could change its shape.
A 100-foot-long serpent may sound unbelievable, but just last month fossils found in Colombia revealed an ancient giant snake that stretched about 45 feet long and weighed more than 2,500 pounds.

It is clearly a PhotoShop monster, and a poorly done, by the way. The main give away is the fact that the waves around the body do not align with the plane of the water in the right angle. The perspective, in other words, is wrong.
That picture is obviously a fake!
Who could be so naive as to harbour hopes that in this day and age there are still huge undiscovered monsters at large!¿
I ask you..
Hold on a minute, though. Er…?
